If you're still on the stock recovery, choose "apply sdcard:update.zip"

If you're using sprecovery, choose "install", then "Allow update.zip installation", then "Install /sdcard/update.zip (depreciated). After it's done, go back to the root menu and choose "wipe cache partition" (It's also a good idea to wipe data/factory reset also, but not necessary). Reboot when that's done, and when you reboot, you'll be completely back to stock (no su, no busybox, no nothing).

Easy peasy.

(Note: This is re-rootable, so you can always root it again if you wish)

Do I lose all my settings and applications I downloaded or does it go back to where it was before I rooted?

I did root only using update.zip previous, do I do the first option? Am I going to lose any installed stuff by using this un root process?

This same zip is also available in the 5.00 one on the market. I used it last night to return to 2.0.1.

One hitch I ran across, and it was a biggie. For some reason when it returned my Droid back to 2.0.1 I lost all voice application features. I had to do a return to factory settings wipe. Once I did that voice settings returned.

I imagine if you use the zip at the Sholes site the same thing will happen. It's not a big deal, ALL of my apps returned immediately I didn't have to download anything. But you will lose any data so you may want to back that up.

I have been trying to remove the root for days and I keep getting the same problem. It aborts installation of update.zip saying E: failed signature verification. I can't install any ROM, stock or otherwise. I have verified the format of update.zip but nothing works. Any ideas?
